Eleven more drink-drivers sentenced after being arrested during Northamptonshire Christmas crackdown

A further 11 drink-drivers from across Northamptonshire – and further afield – have been sentenced following a Christmas crackdown.

Northamptonshire Police ran a campaign to name all drink-drivers arrested over the festive period in 2022, but extended it to include the FIFA World Cup, too.
